Looking for Ruby on Rails developers

Pivotal Labs has been at the forefront of agile development since it’s early days. We’ve taken what we’ve learned by applying agile concepts on a countless number of real world projects, and honed these skills into a very effective way to build software. Along the way, we also built a great project management and collaboration tool – Pivotal Tracker.

Not only does Tracker serve as a critical component of our own development process, it’s also relied on by thousands of teams out there in the world, from open source developers, to fast growing startups, and high profile, established companies.

It’s a great app, yet we have lots of ideas for how we’d like to improve it. Want to help us? If you’re a Ruby on Rails developer, enthusiastic about agile development, and want to help us to take Tracker to the next level, read on.

We’re currently looking for developers in the Denver/Boulder, Colorado area. Familiarity with Ruby on Rails is important, as are strong Javascript, CSS, and overall web UI skills. At Pivotal Labs, we pair and test drive 100% of the time, so any experience with pair-programming and/or test driven development would be a huge plus. We’re also big on aggressive refactoring, so be ready to roll up your sleeves.

If you’re interested in working with us, please send your current resume to tracker-jobs@pivotallabs.com, and tell us a little about yourself. Principals only, please.
